custom supercharger
 
does anyone know of any place that could install a supercharger on my 235 outboard? i understand that the supercharger head unit would be the same, it would just be how it was "plumbed" to fit the engine

Evinrude made a few supercharged and turbocharged outboards, very bad idea. No one has ever been able to figure out how to make them work reliably.

If they can supercharge a Harley, why can't they supercharge an outboard?

They have never been able to get a supercharger or turbo to work on two stroke engines. Too much boost and your reeds are gone....

You are better off getting a better OB engine. Merc 300X or Go with a reworked Johnrude V8...

There are plenty of people that have had reliable 2 strokes out there, nothing main stream that was ever reliable but they do exist. I had a Honda 250R three wheeler that I put a small turbo off a Mercur on and after alot of tuning I got it running well enough to tear a ligament in my knee :eek: The confines of the Outboard cowling make it much more complicated to make something work in the space provided and have it work reliably but it could be done.
